:::Interesting . . . but not sure of its validity in the infobox, for a number of reasons. First is that we use our infobox for very specific information which is applicable to the vast majority of our indexed wiki sites; and use textual prose to highlight specific features and / or issues. Second is that it will create a new semantic property of limited value, and limited use. | |||
:::I think your suggestion would be better displayed as a 'headline' message, similar to our {{template|Down}} (maybe name the template {{template|Tech Prob Reason}} or similar??), to include a date we notice technical problems, and include a reason as an additional parameter. Using a separate template will highlight to other WikiIndex readers to visit the wiki site in question to see if the problem assists, rather than ignore the wiki because our infobox might seem to be a collective of rigid, stable parameters, and more 'de facto' information, rather than transitionary information. | |||
:::What are your thoughts? Any different or further suggestions?
